Examining changes in self-reported mental health among selected Asian and White populations in Canada between 2019 to 2022: A retrospective study Open
Introduction: Research has shown that the mental health of Canadians has been negatively impacted during the pandemic, particularly within racialized populations. This impact may be especially true among Chinese (due to xenophobia) and Sou…

Temporal variation of total mercury levels in the hair of pregnant women from the Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals (MIREC) study Open
Prenatal exposure to total mercury (T-Hg) comes from both natural and anthropogenic sources. T-Hg can cross the blood-brain and placental barriers, and may be associated with future neurological and physiological dysfunctions. Scalp hair i…

Estimating annoyance to calculated wind turbine shadow flicker is improved when variables associated with wind turbine noise exposure are considered Open
The Community Noise and Health Study conducted by Health Canada included randomly selected participants aged 18–79 yrs (606 males, 632 females, response rate 78.9%), living between 0.25 and 11.22 km from operational wind turbines. Annoyanc…
